ill put it to both of you as fair as possible
if you had the choice between a stock dm5 or an ion, both for free, which would you take?
none of this but or what if crap attached, just plain simple stock guns on both sides. you cant say i would get the dm5 and sell it and buy my whole team ions either........
also, a dm5-new timmy-etc outperforms an ion on so many levels
looks-eye of the beholder there, but the upperend guns have it imo
speed-no cap on high end guns, easy to attain speed legally and keep it there (better, smoother trigger system and trigger geometry)
consistent-ion reg is decent, but not like the +-5 fps i get with my dm5 (therefore add mroe money for a reg for the ion)
hype-oh god, this is a tough one. i hyped up $1400 gun or a over hyped $300 gun
stock parts-high end guns have decent regs, barrels, adj feedenecks, and other do hickeys. low end guns have hardly any, if at all, of these features. that is how they keep teh cost down.
size, weight, and comfort-also in the eyes of the beholder. some people want more solid markers, others want it as light as possible.
i understand, and agree, that the player makes the game, not the gun. but i do not agree %100 on that, there are always exceptions to the rule. there is quite the difference in paintball (as it pertains to the civic vs ferrar analogyi). take your entry level stock spyder, and put it up against a dm5-timmy-etc. and the high end gun will outperform it on every level. but just like cars it depends of who drives it to get the most out of it. But you could always dump hundereds of dollars into a spyder and make it just as fast, but guess what, its still a spyder. MOST more expensive guns are made out of better materials, have better overall performance, and have the "ambiance" of the upper end of the paintball world. some people get high end guns to compete, others to show off. what ever floats your boat
